I sell mostly clothing & an occasional collectible. I DO NOT modify anything, such as you might do with a cell phone or auto part. Why was this question added to ITEM SPECIFICS in categories that it would never apply to? STUPID! One more ridiculous hoop to jump through!

I just got it setting up a magazine listing in Turbo Lister. What kind of modifications does it want to know? Did I take off the label? Did I black out the name? Did I cut out a photo?
YES, any of those examples is a modification that a buyer may want to know about before making the purchase. That there IS the problem. Sellers think it is unimportant and never mention those things until after the SNAD then come here to compalin about it.

I just received a bowl I bought and it has holes in the ceramic that were never mentioned in the description. It just looked like white paint, and there was no way a buyer would think to ask, excuse me, are there holes in your bowl? These are definitely holes that were meant to be there, not shipping or other damage, and I find it incredible that the seller didn't feel that was important enough to mention in the description!
The bowl depicts a character, and the character's eyes and mouth are cut away, showing the white of the inside of the bowl, but to look at the picture, it just looks like those areas were painted white.
